Video: Welcome

Hi! I am Brian Lee White and welcome to Foundations of Audio: EQ and Filters. In this course, we'll look at a variety of equalizer and filter techniques, including parametric, shelving, high-pass, and low-pass filter shapes. I will start by covering the fundamentals of a soundwave's frequency and amplitude. Then I will break down the common controls of an EQ and show you how to create definition, clarity, and focus in your mix. (music playing) I'll demonstrate how to EQ in context and create complementary EQ curves, use EQ in unique and creative ways to find a signature sound, and effectively read a real-time frequency analyzer.

In this installment of the Foundations of Audio series, author Brian Lee White shows producers and audio engineers how to properly apply equalization (EQ) and improve the sound of their mixes. The course covers the use of parametric and graphic EQs—and filters such as the high/low pass filters and shelf filters—in a variety of musical settings. These principles can be applied to any digital audio workstation platform, including Logic and Pro Tools, as well as analog workflows.

I will then explain how to EQ your FX returns to increase mix clarity and shapethe tails of reverb and delay.I will cover techniques including frequency bracketing, EQ automation, andusing software models of vintage hardware.Lastly, I'll discuss best practices for when and how to use EQ and filtersin your mixes. (music playing)Throughout the course, I will also provide you with guided exercise content inthe form of Get in the Mix demonstration sessions that you can open up in yourown digital audio workstation.
